The House of Representatives set up an ad hoc committee, chaired by Mark Gbillah (SDP, Benue), to investigate a whistleblower's claim that 48 million barrels of Bonny Light crude oil worth about US$2.4 billion were sold illegally in China in 2015, and crude oil exports from 2014. The Attorney-General, Abubakar Malami, told the committee there were no grounds for the inquiry. In June 2023 the House adopted the committee's report, which advised the government against spending more public money on pursuing the claim.
